Hi,

I understand your concerns.

You can take Any brand of oral contraceptive pills available in that country.

These pills typically contain hormones estrogen and progesterone in small concentration. This pack contains 21 tablets and can be taken from second day of cycle at one tablet per day till all tablets in pack are over.

You can have sexual Intercourse after starting pills. These tablets won't help if you have already had sexual Intercourse.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
